Tyler Stephenson, Alexis Diaz Could Return This Weekend
2 years agoCincinnati Reds catcher Tyler Stephenson (thumb) could return from the injured list on Saturday or Sunday, while rookie relief pitcher Alexis Diaz (biceps) is on track to return on Friday, according to skipper David Bell. Stephenson will play in two more minor league rehab games for Triple-A Louisville before returning as the team's starting catcher. The 25-year-old is one of the best hitting catchers in baseball and needs to be rostered in all fantasy leagues. Diaz has been sidelined since June 19, but he could work himself back into a high-leverage bullpen role after posting a solid 2.40 ERA with two saves and 36 strikeouts in 30 relief innings for Cincy before his injury.
